Amy Mariaskin is one of those wonderful humans who feels like a bit of a walking paradox— but actually is just absurdly well-rounded. She works incredilby hard working her own treatment center in Nashville, and is... goofy AF.

Not only is Taylor an 11-year vegan and a registered dietitian— she's also an activist for body autonomy and respect, aligning her perspective and work with intersectional liberation movements including Black Lives Matter, Health at Every Size, and of course, animal liberation.

Kendall Duffie is a force to be reckoned with. In this interview, we hear about the practices that keep him going strong and working toward the big goals he has of impacting the world and preserving the beauty of his favorite place— the ocean.

Y'ALL.

I am not new to the podcast game, having hosted 2 others shows in the past couple of years— but Vegan and Vibrant is the most aligned with my mission, values, and dharma, so suffice to say I am REALLY FREAKING EXCITED to start and share it with you.

And I couldn't have asked for a better guest to kick it off— my new friend, the formidable, spunky, genuine, and smart-as-hell Maddie Krasno.
